Chapter 24: Substitute (8)



Li Su, the cat demon who used to be so arrogant in front of her, always loved to ridicule and bully her whenever he saw her, now crawled under her skirt and confessed his feelings in panic.

He liked her and always liked her.

But he didn't know how to express this feeling. Huai Li had too good a temper and was too soft-hearted. She was so kind to everyone and would show that warm smile to everyone.

When Li Su found that he was no more special than others in her eyes, he was angry and jealous, almost hating her.

He began to bully her, scare her, belittle her, and deliberately say that she was useless. When he saw that there was a little more fear and fear in her eyes when she looked at him than when she looked at others, Li Su would be secretly proud.

In her eyes, he was finally different from others.

But when she really said that she hated him, he was still afraid. When she walked towards that human cultivator, he was still jealous.

That was a human cultivator, an immortal who had killed countless monsters, not the monsters that could be driven away by his threats. If Huai Li chose Ji Hanyi, she would never be tolerated by the monsters.

The fear of losing her made the cat monster bend his proud back, kneel at her feet, and beg her to choose him.

Huai Li stood there in a daze, covering her lips with both hands. She had never seen Li Su like this, nor had she looked down at him from this angle. Every time he appeared in front of her, he was always high and mighty, with teasing and sarcasm in his golden cat eyes.

Now, it seemed that they had switched positions, and it was Li Su who was looking up at her pleadingly.

The little bird demon's heart was pounding, and she believed it now. Ayi was right, Li Su liked her, so he was at a disadvantage.

So what should she do now? How should she answer him?

Huai Li wanted to find Yu Yi to give her some advice, but at this moment, Yu Yi became the same as before, no longer interfering in the entanglement between her and Li Su, and just asked her to make her own decision.

The little bird demon was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She remembered what Yu Yi had said before. She said that she could use Li Su's feelings for her to control him and change him into the way she liked. When she heard it at that time, she was yearning in her heart and wanted to try it on him.

But now, seeing Li Su begging her so humbly, she couldn't bear it in her heart.

How could she use Li Su's love for her to bully him?

Huai Li hesitated for a long time, and finally squatted down, held his bleeding fingertips with both hands, and turned on the white light of healing. Behind the white light were her gentle eyes. She smiled and said, "Li Su, how can a bird be the owner of a cat? I don't want to be your master. Let's be the same as before."

She paused and corrected, "No, it can't be the same as before. You said you wouldn't bully me anymore."

Li Su wanted to swear to the sky, "I will change. I won't bully you anymore, and I won't let others bully you."

The little bird demon was easily satisfied. She patted his shoulder without holding a grudge and said happily, "Okay, then I will like you too."

Li Su's eyes widened, his cat eyes were so bright that they were about to shine, and he excitedly rushed over to hug Huai Li, feeling that this moment was happier than taking cat mint.

Yu Yi's response to Huai Li was not the slightest accident. If she could really come down, she had already kicked this owed cat demon long ago. Xue Shenjing of the curtain was mixed in his

heart . Xue Chenjing had been in a state of anxiety, wanting to be touched again. He was also stimulated by the two cats and the bird. His tentacles kept curling and stretching. He was so upset that he wanted to grab his tentacles and grind his teeth. The system routinely maintained Yu Yi and explained, "The heroine is not a heart of stone. She is also a very warm and kind girl. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will definitely be moved by you. Master, only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity." Xue Chenjing sneered angrily, retracted the tentacles and demons in the void, sealed himself in the darkness, and chose to turn a blind eye. He sank into his own heart, and the twisted shadow in the heart immediately wrapped around him. They longed for him and wanted to devour him. He was born like a magnet to attract these dark creatures to worship him. If he didn't want to be swallowed by them, he had to swallow them. Unknowingly, he had already become something as dark as them. Xue Chenjing turned his heart upside down, not knowing where to find the so-called love and tenderness to heal her. He tossed around in his own cesspool-like heart, and finally stood in front of the faint white light deep in his heart. There was another him locked up there, another him with both body and mind. That was him, but not him. If he let him out, what was the difference between that and strangling himself? Xue Chenjing didn't think Yu Yi was worth it. He buried the light deep in his heart again, letting the heavy shadows drown out its light. Xue Chenjing deliberately led Yu Yi to this secret room under the altar. He wanted to be with her alone without being disturbed by others so as to gain points. Now that there is another cat, the bird demon will start to howl and scream whenever it stays by his side for a moment longer, which is extremely annoying. Xue Chenjing used his injuries to lure Yu Yi to bandage him. Seeing this, the cat deliberately cracked the wound on its shoulder and leaned against the wall, pretending to be dying. Xue Chenjing lost completely because his master would not show him much mercy. He is not even as good as Ji Hanyi, at least the bird demon always cares about her immortal king. Most of the time during the day, the bird demon is in charge of the body. Xue Chenjing watched her and the cat demon together, and from time to time he would receive Li Su's hostile and boastful eyes, putting on the face of the queen. Xue Chenjing wanted to peel off his cat skin and use it as a cushion. The system sighed, "The world of three people... no, four people, ah, to be more precise, the world of five souls is still too crowded. The one who is not loved is really pitiful." Xue Chenjing didn't know where he bit his teeth, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked eerie, as if he was the earth-bound spirit with resentment that could not be eliminated. He questioned in his heart, "You said, she would be particularly fond of things that belong to her." Where is the love? Where is the preference? ! System: "..." It was wrong, it shouldn't have been so mean and provoked him.

Xue Chenjing didn't want to stay here any longer because his points didn't grow as he expected. Yu Yi didn't want to stay here for long either. She still wanted to check the Sophora japonica formation and put an end to this ghostland that had existed for a thousand years.

The two of them hit it off for the first time, but Yu Yi wanted to get out of this secret room, while Xue Chenjing wanted to get out of this ghostland.

Without Yu Yi's permission, Xue Chenjing never took off the magic-sealing spell on his eyes, even though the magic-sealing spell on it had been blurred and only a piece of red remained, and it had long lost its effect.

He tilted his head slightly, with his black hair hanging on both sides of his cheeks, and said to her: "If you want to get out, you just need to find the connection point between reality and here, which should be on the big locust tree in the center." @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城

"I have already asked Senior Brother He to call on the tree. As long as we hear its call, we can follow the sound and get out of here."

Li Su heard something wrong in the words and was very alert: "What connection in reality? Where do you want to go?"

He grabbed Yu Yi's wrist and said anxiously, "I can help you send him out of Xuandan Mountain, but you can't go with me. Huai Li, he is a human cultivator, and we are monsters. Humans and monsters are on different paths. There is no place in the world where humans and monsters can live together."

"I won't leave." Yu Yian patted his hand soothingly, signaling him to let go. "Now is the time when Xuandan Mountain is on the most stringent alert. It is very difficult to send the Immortal King away at this time. We have to trouble the Immortal King to continue hiding in this secret room. After the mountain master relaxes his vigilance, we will find a way to send the Immortal King out."

@無限好文,盡在晉江文學城 Li

Su's hair was tamed again. He rubbed his slender wrist twice with nostalgia before letting go and said, "I think so too."

Xue Chenjing lowered his head, and Li Su immediately looked over. If his eyes were not covered by gauze, Li Su would think that the other party could see their movements.

Of course, it would be better if he could see it, and it would be best if he could give up the idea of ​​seducing Huai Li.

What Li Su wanted to do most was to tie up Ji Hanyi and take him back to the Lord of Xuandan Mountain. Not only could he clear his suspicion, but he could also make a contribution.

But Huai Li was unwilling. She still remembered the life-saving grace of the Immortal Lord and wanted to save him and leave here.

Li Su couldn't persuade Huai Li, so he could only think of a way to help her.

Xue Chenjing raised his head again and asked in confusion: "Why? If you don't leave, do you want to stay here forever?"

"If I want to leave, I will take them with me, understand?" Yu Yi said. Of course she wanted to leave here, but after she left, the little bird demon would still be trapped here, and would be burned to death repeatedly in the flames.

She had lived with the little bird demon for so many days, drank the nectar she brewed, and ate the flower cakes she steamed. How could she just leave without mercy? She should do something for her.

Xue Chenjing once again felt the huge gap. Very good, it seems that she is really as the system said, enthusiastic, kind, and kind-hearted.

However, her kind-heartedness only makes her generous to others, but stingy to him.

Li Su was confused by their puzzling conversation and asked, "Huai Li, tell me clearly, are you leaving or not?"

Yu Yi said, "Let's go out of the stone chamber first."

"If you want to go out, you must take me with you." Xue Chenjing took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone, "Only I know how to get out."

He couldn't agree to stay here alone. If he stayed with Yu Yi, he could still find a way to let her touch him, but if they were separated, there would be no chance at all.

The cat demon immediately snorted back, "Does the Immortal Lord have any choice now? The Lord of Xuandan Mountain must be ordering people to search for you everywhere. As long as you show up, you will be captured by the Lord of the Mountain immediately. It doesn't matter if you are captured, just don't let us get involved!"

Xue Chenjing ignored him and just said to Yu Yi, "No matter what you want to do, I can help you. This was once the territory of the Ji family. I must know more about this place than you do."

After suppressing the earth-bound spirit, he searched Ji Hanyi's soul and learned from his memory the whole process of the formation of this ghost domain.

After the Lord of Xuandan Mountain and Ji Hanyi got married, they could not be free for long. After the Ji family fell, most of the resources it had flowed into the hands of the Ji family's former retainers of different surnames.

The people of the three major families, Jiang, Yao, and Yun, soon became the new rulers of the cultivation world. They still had to put on a show for the surviving Ji family members. Knowing that Ji Hanyi was imprisoned in Xuandan Mountain, they quickly gathered a group of cultivators and attacked Xuandan Mountain.

The owner of Xuandan Mountain was a ruthless snake. She sacrificed herself, drew out the spiritual vein under Xuandan Mountain, and exploded, burying all people and monsters here.

Xue Chenjing admired the snake.

Yu Yi heard him say this, thought about it for a while, and understood the meaning of his words.

Xue Chenjing must have read Ji Hanyi's memory. Ji Hanyi naturally knew more about the Ji family's territory than outsiders. The owner of Xuandan Mountain had occupied this place for so many years, but she didn't know that there was a secluded room under the altar.

In addition, Huai Li died too early, and she was a fool who knew nothing. Yu Yi could not get any useful information from her.

After thinking about it, Yu Yi took out a small stringed book from her treasure bag. The picture inside was the locust flower pattern she saw a few nights ago.

She handed the book to Xue Chenjing and said, "Then take a look at this pattern. It may be some kind of magic circle, but I didn't see it completely at that time, so I can't tell what kind of magic circle it is." Xue Chenjing took the

book and opened it. There was an incomplete picture outlined on it with charcoal.

Xue Chenjing's cultivation was not very good, but he was much better at magic circles than Yu Yi. After all, he had to rely on magic circle runes to transform the magic power in his body, make the monsters appear, and let them be used by himself.

He stared at the pattern for a moment, then asked Yu Yi for a charcoal pencil. After deducing from the known arrays, he squatted down and drew layer after layer of arrays on the ground.

Yu Yi watched him deduce quietly beside him. Some of his arrays looked familiar to her, but most of them were arrays she had never seen or known, and they were full of evil spirits.

The cat demon paced anxiously beside him, because he couldn't help in this matter, so he lost to that abominable man.

About half an hour later, the charcoal pencil in Xue Chenjing's hand was almost empty, and his fingertips were stained black. He waved his hand to wipe off the marks on the ground, used the remaining charcoal pencil to draw a few strokes on the notebook, and spread it out in front of her.

"It's a soul-soothing array, to comfort the souls of the dead and keep their spirits intact." Xue Chenjing said, rubbing the carbon ash off his fingertips.

Yu Yi would not take out an incomplete array for no reason. He could guess with a little thought, "Is there a soul-soothing array under this ghost town?"

Yu Yi glanced at the completed array diagram on the notebook, and his eyes showed amazement.

Xue Chenjing raised his lips, and immediately took a step forward, lowered his head and came in front of her, his face full of the words "please touch" and said in a light tone: "Master, I told you, I am very useful."

A threatening cat meow broke out beside him, and Li Su was stressed.

Before Yu Yi could move, he squeezed in between them and bared his fangs, "What master? She is not your master, and has nothing to do with you. You are a fairy king, and you really have no shame to recognize a demon as your master."

This scolding is really right. Xue Chenjing is really shameless in order to complete the task.

Yu Yi retreated behind Li Su, kept a distance from Xue Chenjing, and refused to give him points.

Xue Chenjing's face darkened, his jawline was tightly bound, his back teeth were almost broken, and he snorted coldly: "Useless cat, all you can do is bark." Li

Su was so angry that he raised his claws and fought with Xue Chenjing's tentacles wrapped in snake scales.

Yu Yi walked away from them with the book in her hand, and studied the Soul-Calming Formation carefully. Judging from the scale of the pattern formed by the locust flowers she saw, the Soul-Calming Formation at the foot of Xuandan Mountain was quite large.

Could it be that it was because of this Soul-Calming Formation that the souls of Huai Li and others were bound here?

Xue Chenjing beat Li Su badly, and the cat's meow came from time to time. Huai Li's soul in the body called out worriedly: "Ayi, Ayi, you should take care of your who."

Yu Yi was still immersed in the soul-soothing array. When she heard the voice, she raised her head and subconsciously shouted: "Aqiu..." As soon

as the words came out, she pursed her lips.

The cognition that Xue Chenjing engraved in her mind has not disappeared.

Even though she already knew the cause and effect of the matter, and knew that the experience of getting married and living in seclusion was fabricated, these cognitions that have been formed are still branded in her mind.

It's like a mark engraved in her mind. If she is not careful, she will be affected by this mark.

Although Yu Yi shut up quickly, Xue Chenjing still heard her shout, and immediately turned around and came to her side, saying obediently: "You called me?"

The demon spirit floated beside Yu Yi, and seeing that her face was not looking good, Xue Chenjing thought she wanted to protect the cat demon, and was very angry, and said with a sigh: "I didn't hit him hard, and he hurt me."

The cat demon shouted beside him, and the demonic energy and tentacles collided: "Stay away from her! I will kill you!"

Xue Chenjing lowered his head in grievance, and muttered softly: "Look, it's obviously him who wants to fight to the death."

"Don't pretend." Yu Yi was a little annoyed, turned her head and looked straight at him, "Erase the cognition you planted in my mind."
